Heh.

Normally, I wouldn't do this but I got hammered on the GL run with covers that revealed plot twists, blurbs that were literally false in their descriptions of what the books contained and covers that sometimes depicted scenes that never occurred and were never even proposed by me.

Ha -- the man's not kidding. Speculate at your own risk.

Good: No rotating cast. Because that would be too many characters. I want a set team so every character will get a chance to shine.

Bad: Betsy still being Captain Britain. Britain's premiere hero killing humans, if that indeed is going to happen, doesn't seem realistic. Plus, I prefer Betts as Psylocke. I don't like her as Captain Britain.

JMHO.

wait and see.

[From The Shadows]

wait and see.

Yes. Thank you.

we will be FAST
we will be GLOBAL
we will be RUTHLESS
we will be CONTENTIOUS
we will LIE
we will BETRAY
we will ROLL THAT COASTER as hard as we can.

Because we are about winning, about solving the problem for good, not slapping a bandaid on it.

and we will, most definitely, be STRANGE.

I love the sound of it. Ruthless, strange, pragmatic and morally grey are my favorite kind of stories/book/characters.

Heck, that’s why I love Betsy. She always had these traits battling with her noble, posh and heroic sides. Since her beginning in the team, through Outback, body swap, Crimson Dawn era, previous X-Force… the only moment she lost those rich layers were when she was CB.

So if she’s still CB in your run, I’m hopeful she will be this complex again.

(Although I personally would live of she’s just Betsy Braddock or some new alias)

whether you love Deadpool or hate Deadpool you will enjoy what we do with Deadpool.

hmm-hmm *withering side-eye drowning in skepticism*

I'll see.

Just a curiosity.

You stated that Betsy is going to have a lot on her plate. Will she be known to different groups and people by different aliases?

Like her close friends will call her Betsy

Maybe Lady Braddock? (we’ve never had that in issue so I think it would be cool) and you used it once.

When she’s doing CB stuff she’ll be addressed as Captain Britain.

Will she have a STRIKE code name?

Where was this teased?? This isnt Logans xforce kill squad. And when did Betsy kills humans? Nothing is coming to mind.
I don’t like her as CB either but she can still be the Betsy of old without killing. Pragmatic and ruthless is in her when she needs to be.

It wouldn't be the first time for Wade to do well in X-Force.

One of the most popular aspects of Uncanny X-Force was Deadpool's characterization there, being considered one of the best portrayals of the character.

[Devaishwarya]

But that is a different writer. I'll wait to see what RedJ does and judge it on that.

Uncanny X-Force was so good. The interaction between Wade and Logan here was the best I've ever seen. Not silly or goofy or lacking substance. There was real gravitas in those scenes.

Yes it was. I really liked this version of Wade.

I'm loving the sound of this... bring on the strange!

There. He said it. Posting right now to X and Reddit that Stephen Strange will featured be in 2nd arc!

I said that's what she may be doing. Not that she did. Even if it isn't Logans kill squad do you honestly think that an X-Force book won't have some killing in it? It has Deadpool. My problem with killing if you understood what I said has to do with her being Captain Britain. England's premiere hero. I just didn't understand how a Captain Britain would fit in X-Force since that would make her a hero. X-Force are about anti-heroes. Or at least were. Look, I'm willing to wait and see. End.
